Evelyn Jerome-Alexander brings fourteen years of experience to her student-centered, stress-reducing approach to guiding students and families through the college search and application journey. While her clients are frequently admitted to the most highly selective colleges, she considers the truest success to be when her students thrive at colleges that fit their academic, social and emotional needs – and their parents’ budget. Evelyn founded Magellan College Counseling in 2011 after spending 15 years as a volunteer admissions recruiter for Johns Hopkins University. A recognized expert on the nuances of college admission, she regularly presents webinars and workshops and is frequently interviewed for news articles. Evelyn has presented at dozens of national college admission conferences and has personally visited over 450 colleges. Evelyn holds a Bachelor’s degree from Johns Hopkins University, a Master’s degree from George Washington University, and a Certificate in College Counseling from UCLA. In addition to carrying a moderate caseload of students herself, Evelyn manages a talented team of IECs around the U.S., and teaches in UC Berkeley’s Program in Professional College Consulting certificate program. She is one of only a few dozen Certified Educational Planners in California.
